I have a question in regards to slander and libel. I work for in a office that can be political. My finacee happens to be a member of the executive board. My name and character have been terribly tossed around on the internet, in mailings, etc. my fiancé is in an elected position and I believe the reason they are using me to get to him. Trying to ruin his career because of our relationship. Meanwhile this has not been an easy thing to deal with. It there any thing I can do about this in regards to libel, slander or character defamation?

Feeling helpless in NY
